Chapter 71 VAM Agreement
Got a few boxes out of the space, and then asked the two Locke, who were guarding the garage door, to load them into the car. Seeing that the two of them "huh, hey" took half a day to get two boxes to the car, and there was no choice but to roll up their sleeves and get on it in person!
Fang Yuanshan grabbed the protrusion of the box with both hands, picked up the box with a "hey" sound, walked to the side of the car and put it in the back seat, and then moved it several times in a row as it did before moving all the boxes into the car.
The two people on the side looked at each other, and Yuan Gaoyang said, "Boss, your strength ......"
Fang Yuanshan laughed, "Hey, I'm a natural divine power, you can't compare." β
Looking at the edges and corners of the wooden box pressing white marks on the leather seats, he suddenly felt distressed. The car was bought back and he had to work as a coolie for less than a day, which made him speechless for a while, "I knew I would buy a pickup truck first!"
The 6-wheeled Hummer is awesome, 10 boxes of gold are more than 4,000 catties, plus three big men, 6.2AT automatic transmission starts without the slightest feeling of lag, and the power is even surging.
When I arrived at the Citibank branch in Rio, the president inside was already waiting at the door. Seeing the black Humvee driving over, he immediately played the role of a car boy at the door, regardless of his identity.
When he got out of the car and saw the white middle-aged man who opened the door for him, he stretched out his hand and said, "I'm Fang Yuanshan, I don't know who you are?"
"I'm Cameron Hodge, the president of the Rio branch. Welcome to come!" said as he shook Fang Yuanshan's hand vigorously.
The president's excessive enthusiasm made Fang Yuanshan confused. In fact, he took advantage of Taylor's light, and the sudden arrival of this director frightened the president into confusion, thinking that he had done something wrong, which caused the dissatisfaction of the mining tycoon!
When I heard Taylor say that a little friend wanted to come to the bank to make a deposit, the president immediately ran to the door and waited.
"Hello Mr. Hodge, that's the case, I have a deal with Mr. Taylor, and the things traded are all in the car, can you please call the two staff members to come over and help?"
The Hodge Governor immediately called two security personnel, and when he saw that the box was so heavy, he called someone to drive a forklift and sent it directly to the door of the underground vault in the back.
Fang Yuanshan followed all the way uneasily, no wonder he was concerned. It's not one or two dollars, it's a small thing of 100 million dollars, and he didn't even cry if there was a box missing.
All the way to the door of the bank's vault without any danger, Taylor was already waiting there. Seeing him coming, he said, "Fang, everything is here, right?"
"Yes, yes!"
Since the original two boxes of gold bars were out of Taylor's sight, they had to be recalculated. Fang Yuanshan next to him couldn't wait to pump his two big mouths, and he had to recalculate after doing it for a long time, he knew that he wouldn't do so much trouble~
Hodge called four bank staff, and several of them counted the gold together. It didn't take an hour for the results to come out: 2095654.436 grams.
Seeing the calculation results, Fang Yuanshan nodded to say that it was right, Taylor opened his mouth and said: "Now the price of the New York Gold Exchange is $1,026 an ounce, except for the purity, I will give you $1,010 per ounce, what do you think?"
Fang Yuanshan quickly calculated in his mind, two million and one hundred thousand grams, about more than seventy thousand ounces, which is equivalent to more than seventy million dollars when converted into dollars. After all the calculations, he still feels that he has lost a lot!~
This year's gold price has been affected by the financial turmoil and has fallen sharply, which is already a low period in recent years. Selling this batch of gold at this time, Fang Yuanshan felt that it was very not cost-effective, thought about it and said to Taylor: "Mr. Taylor, I have a request, I don't know if you would like to hear it?"
"What request, tell me about it?"
"Yes, the price of gold has been affected too much by the international financial turmoil this year, and I think the price of this batch of gold is far undervalued. β
Hearing him mention the financial turmoil, Taylor suddenly wondered: "Fang, then what do you suggest?"
"I want to sign a gambling agreement with you, I don't know if you want to?"
"Oh, you're so confident that this batch of gold will definitely be at a premium!"
Taylor thought for a moment before saying, "I understand what you mean. Affected by the recent international environment, the price of gold is sure to fall sharply. β
"But this batch of gold is actually dispensable to me, I can tell you that I have been talking to Vale recently about cooperation, which will take up a lot of cash, so I will also mortgage your gold to Citibank. β
Fang Yuanshan listened to his words and pouted secretly, "I still worship you, look, the capitalist's face has been exposed again." What's dispensable, I don't want you to run around for nothing?"
After thinking about it, he said, "Then do you have any suggestions?"
"If you think the price of this gold is undervalued, do I have an idea you would like to hear?"
After seeing Fang Yuanshan nodding, the two of them walked to the side of the bench and sat down. Taylor began to tell him his idea, and after listening to Taylor's plan, Fang Yuanshan fell silent, calculating the gains and losses in his heart.
His so-called idea was still eyeing his cash. It turns out that the cooperation that Taylor is talking about with Vale recently is actually the right to operate the mineralization area.
In the northeastern part of the Brazilian Altiplano, there is an area where large quantities of iron, manganese, copper, tin, platinum group, bauxite and gold are stored, and this is known as "Caragas". It is currently the world's largest iron mining area and one of the two largest iron mining areas in Brazil.
The Carajas metallogenic area is located in the tropical jungle of the state of ParΓ‘ in northern Brazil and is currently wholly owned by CVRD, a Brazilian mining company of Vale.
But before that, it was the American steel companies that first discovered the mineralization area, and later developed it in cooperation with Brazil, each with a 50 percent stake.
In 77, due to the rise in energy prices, the U.S. steel company made the decision to withdraw its investment, and this major decision mistake has become an eternal pain in the heart of the steel company.
Later facts also proved the short-sightedness of the American steel company, and the international price of various ores was soaring. U.S. Steel has also become a buyer from the initial seller, and the annual purchase volume with Vale has reached 30% of the total amount of the year, which has to be said to be a joke~
Taylor's goal now is to have a cooperative right to operate the South Ferris Ridge in the Carajas metallogenic area, with both parties investing $1 billion each to develop the South Ferris Ridge in depth.
However, the funds were invested in three years, and the two parties agreed to receive the first amount of funds and $100 million within three months, and then additional investments will follow.
Taylor's approximate meaning is that he will sign a gambling agreement with Fang Yuanshan, and then the gold will be mortgaged to the bank, and Fang Yuanshan will use the money to cooperate with him to develop South Ferris Ridge.
It is said that it is a cooperative development, but he only holds a small part of the shares, and has no decision-making power, only share dividends.
After understanding what this little old man meant, Fang Yuanshan suddenly became angry again!~
"The co-author buddy took sixty or seventy million dollars to buy a dividend right, and he didn't even have the right to speak?"
